Description:

War changes everyone involved. Death, murder and hunger begin to take hold of people and shift their minds in horrible ways. This is all too true for a young girl named Shera Zade who feels herself starving. Then one day as she is about to be attacked by an enemy soldier she spots an odd figure who we learn is actually Death itself. Before Death can even react, Shera devours the being and now carries Death’s massive scythe. Shera joins the Kingdom’s army and decides to kill all enemies to get the chance at eating some great food…

Fantasy stories can be sometimes very odd. However, that same oddness allows for unique stories to be created for our reading entertainment. That’s why we love Shinigami wo Tabeta Shoujo. This dark fantasy and military light novel is only 2 volumes long but it explores the real darkness behind war and how it affects people. Though don’t expect Shinigami wo Tabeta Shoujo to be a normal examination of war as this is a dark fantasy story after all and it shows it once Shera begins her hunger filled death spree.

Note: I cried like a baby at the End.
